THE LORD’S PRAYER : M. M. NINAN<br />
The <strong>Prayer</strong> To Our Father<br />
(translated into first century Aramaic)<br />
Abwûn<br />
"Oh Thou, from whom the breath of life comes,<br />
d'bwaschmâja<br />
who fills all realms of sound, light and vibration.<br />
Nethkâdasch schmach<br />
May Your light be experienced in my utmost holiest.<br />
Têtê malkuthach.<br />
Your Heavenly Domain approaches.<br />
Nehwê tzevjânach aikâna d'bwaschmâja af b'arha.<br />
Let Your will come true - in the universe (all that vibrates)<br />
just as on earth (that is material and dense).<br />
Hawvlân lachma d'sûnkanân jaomâna.<br />
Give us wisdom (understanding, assistance) for our daily need,<br />
Waschboklân chaubên wachtahên aikâna<br />
daf chnân schwoken l'chaijabên.<br />
detach the fetters of faults that bind us, (karma)<br />
like we let go the guilt of others.<br />
Wela tachlân l'nesjuna<br />
Let us not be lost in superficial things (materialism, common temptations),<br />
ela patzân min bischa.<br />
but let us be freed from that what keeps us off from our true purpose.<br />
Metol dilachie malkutha wahaila wateschbuchta l'ahlâm almîn.<br />
From You comes the all-working will, the lively strength to act,<br />
the song that beautifies all and renews itself from age to age.<br />
Amên.<br />
Sealed in trust, faith and truth.<br />
(I confirm with my entire being)<br />
Lords <strong>Prayer</strong><br />
Translation by Neil Douglas-Klotz in <strong>Prayer</strong>s of the Cosmos<br />
O Birther! Father- Mother of the Cosmos<br />
Focus your light within us - make it useful.<br />
Create your reign of unity nowthrough<br />
our fiery hearts and willing hands<br />
Help us love beyond our ideals<br />
and sprout acts of compassion for all creatures.<br />
Animate the earth within us: we then<br />
feel the Wisdom underneath supporting all.<br />
Untangle the knots within<br />
so that we can mend our hearts' simple ties to each other.<br />
Don't let surface things delude us,<br />
But free us from what holds us back from our true purpose.<br />
Out of you, the astonishing fire,<br />
Returning light and sound to the cosmos.<br />
Amen.<br />
